The reader is privileged to watch the a local house band that has been used to playing gigs at a local bar to a platinum selling group with secrets and demons that are not quite buried in the past.

Seduced is an introductory novel, which is noht only graphic, but also gritty and reflects on the lifestyle that many people have failed to succeed in. The characters in this book are extremely flawed, with that of the choices that they have made have either proved wrong or failed. But just like many people in the music industry, they tend to keep on plugging away until the final note is heard. This storyline is not only fast paced but also well written. There is always someone who is busy reflecting on the whys and ifs of life or something that is happening. Just to say, the characters are extremely likeable and therefore would be looking for the truth due to the length of the storyline. However, each band member has his or her very own story to tell.

Owned

If you have been reading the Lost in Oblivion series, then you are going to find that Owned is an excellent conclusion to this romance series. Just like Seduced, the story is told from the points of Nick and Simon, though this time around we get to hear from Lila and Margo. Each of the story in this series has been focused on a couple’s romance that is complete with exceedingly happy conclusions. Simon’s most recent vocal injury has indded caused the greatest concerns and now the future of the band is at stake.

All these happens within a few weeks some emotional and fun scenes at Lila’s parents farm, a altercation with Margo’s parents and also the meeting between the band and the management team. This book is not easy to read as a standalone because you have to be fully aware of the previous happenings so as to fully grasp its contents. Nonetheless, this book manages to pull out everything in an exceedingly neat and gritty manner. While Gray may stand out to be one of the best characters in this book, Lila and Nick are also outstanding people. There are some exceedingly tense scenes in this book, but we end up getting an exceedingly happy ending which is filled with an epilogue that will undoubtedly leave a smile on your face.

Destroyed

This is the third installment in the Lost in Oblivion book erotic romance rock series, that focuses on the band members of a rock group. Simon Kagan is the lead singer and front man of the band, while Margo Reece is the bands violinist. Told from the perspective of two people, this book follows the reconstruction process of a broken relationship between Margo and Simon which was destroyed by a one night stand where Margo had walked away without looking back. What follows is an exceedingly tense scene and the continuous toxic confrontations between the leading couples. From disgust to name calling, Simon and Margo have several issues.

The relationship between Simon and Margo is fraught with extremely bitter memories of the one nightstand.

Several months down the line, Simon has really tried forgetting Margo together with her curvaceous body. The hero’s reputation as a polygamist is filled with some extremely disappointing moments. Alcohol and sex are some of his vices; he is a sexual beast both on stage and off the stage. While facing his past, Simon aggression towards Margo is intensified with the return of a former band mate.

The back and forth war between is continuous while the sexual scenes are not only graphic but also intense, combative, bold and sometimes combative. All in all, this is an ensemble book series with all the previous characters and band members playing a secondary role in the novel. Just like all the other books in the series, Destroyed also ends with an happy ending.

Jack Reacher is back! Personally I thought this was the 2nd best Reacher book yet. The latest book in the Jack Reacher series, Past Tense, came out November 5th. Family secrets come back to haunt Reacher when he decides to visit the town his father was born in. Why? Because when he visits there he finds out no-one with the last name of Reacher has ever lived there. It leaves him wondering - did his father ever live there? More Details.
